The r5.5 collection is a collaboration between Rado and the British designer Jasper Morrison. This is the first automatic model.
The case, done in matt-black ceramic, has a black PVD titanium display back and an AR-coated sapphire crystal. The crown is stainless steel
with a ceramic cap. Movement is the automatic ETA caliber 2892A2 with 21 jewels, decorated and rhodium-plated and with blued screws. The bracelet is black ceramic with titanium folding clasp.
The case, in titanium grey PVD, measures 49mm and features a tungsten ring for extra case strength. The crystal is an AR-coated sapphire and it is water resistant to 1,000 meters. Movement is a Swiss automatic base ETA caliber 2897 with power reserve complication.
BY THE WAY, THIS IS A JUMP HOUR:
The case, in stainless steel, measures 43mm and has an AR-coated sapphire crystal. It is water resistant to 100 meters. The case has a tudded satin-finished black ceramic bezel and a crown with an onyx cabochon.
Movement is the Swiss automatic Bulgari for Gerald Genta in-house caliber GG7722 with a 45 hour power reserve, jumping hours and retrograde complications.
A large window at 12 o’clock shows the jumping hours, the retrograde minute hand travels over a 210° arc, while the retrograde date is shown on a 180° arc at the bottom of the dial. At the same time, the studs on the bezel make it easier to read the intermediary minutes in their separate 10-minute segments.
